When trying to ring a bell using redstone, the bell will not ring if the redstone that is connected to it is not a straight line.

It's either a bug that it visually redirects redstone, or it's a bug that the redirected redstone doesn't affect the bell. It would be most useful if the bell (a solid block) would be both powered and activated from the redirected redstone line (as it is with a straight line). This would enable a target block equivalent, without the producer/consumer issue that is believed to be the problem with target blocks themselves doing this on bedrock. Albeit a noisy, villager scaring equivalent...
Visual bug; a good fix for this would be making bells not redirect the dust
If this was changed to actually redirect dust, it would be the exact same as a target block(from 1.17.20.20+) but noisy, since bells conduct redstone signals for some reason.
I wouldn't mind them actually redirecting the dust but they should be changed to not conduct redstone signals if that happens
This is in parity with Java. It's also how most redstone components function; pistons & sticky pistons are the only consumers I'm aware of that redirect redstone. The only other components that redirect redstone are producers such as levers, repeaters, target blocks, etc.
